Girls on the Run has
helped me to realize
how determined I
am: When I thought I
could only run 7 laps,
I pushed myself to 15!

GRATITUDE REPORT
2014-2015
INSPIRED TO DREAM
GROWTH
Letters from parents like Greg inspire us. Reflecting on his daughter’s
experience with Girls on the Run he wrote, “As a former competitive runner,
it was hard for me to see past the running aspects of your program, but I
discovered that the GOTR curriculum played a big part in giving her the
confidence to speak about things important to her. Today at her school she
is known by her teachers and fellow students as a girl with quiet confidence
and effective leadership skills.”

COACHES
By 2020, we envision that over 3,300 girls in King County will participate in
our programs each year. Our five year vision focuses on three key elements:
GROWTH
GIRLS
We dream and deliberate constantly about how to reach more girls with
our messages of empowerment. With less than 3% of 3-5th grade girls
in King County participating, we know there is room to grow and inspire
more girls with our lessons on competence, confidence, connection,
caring and character. This past year our Board of Directors spent countless
hours developing a Vision Statement for the future of girls in King County.
Combined with valuable insights from our focus groups, we have ambitious
goals for our programming.

COMPETENCE
